AIM OF THE PROJECT
Creating tools for qualitative and quantitative valuation of ecosystem services in Natura 2000 sites in order to develop innovative approaches of environmental governance and improve Natura 2000 sites management
effectiveness.
3rdAIEAA Conference“Feeding the Planet and Greening Agriculture: Challenges and opportunities for the bio-economy”
25-27 June, 2014Alghero, Italy
For 21 Natura 2000 study sites, specific actions are:
Data collection and preparation of spatial datasets (GIS);
Application of the model to evaluate the ES qualitatively and quantitatively;
Application of PES and PES-like scheme mechanism;
Implementation of a management effectiveness evaluation system
together with management authorities and stakeholders.
The challenge is how to integrate ES assessment in managing Natura 2000 sites and encourage local communities and other stakeholders to adopt sustainable environmental practices in
order to protect habitats and species.
The inclusion of ES and their economic valuation in conservation:
social acceptance and attainment of conservation objectives;
new arguments and tools in favour of biodiversity conservation.

To protect natural capital and ecosystem services there is a need for:
providing information
setting incentives
regulating the use

Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES)
Voluntary transactions where a well-defined ES (or land-use likely to secure that service) is ‘bought’ by at least one ES buyer from at least one ES provider, if and only if the ES provider
secures ES provision (conditionality)

AIM OF THE PAPER
On the basis of the MGN project preliminary results, we assessed 4 ES in 2 out of 21 study sites and compared these benefits with (direct) costs for
conservation measures

Quantification of costs relating to the Natura 2000 network is crucial for measuringand assessing conservation measures effectiveness.
In a context of stagnant and uncertain funding for biodiversity new governance andmanagement tools, such as PES or PES-like schemes, should offer a considerablepotential to raise new funds.
Solving multi-layered governance problems normally requires combining governance structures, scales and tools.
